Joanna Lumley, the comic legend and star of Absolutely Fabulous celebrates her birthday today, with an OBE under her belt and a friendship with Charles and Camilla. It’s good to be Lumley. The photos in our gallery show off a star who looks to be enjoying life, never afraid to take a wonky picture for a laugh.

We adore that throaty voice and wonder what the hell else Lumley keeps up in that beehive of hers (and which hair spray product she uses to keep it so poofy) besides ciggies and a few illegal weapons.
